Hi Folks,

I have an interesting situation that I'd like to share for comment. A client of mine sells custom-designed products. Each product belongs to a general category, a subcategory, a sub-sub category, and is then classed in one of 4 ways. There are attributes common to each level and, finally, attributes that will only be needed with certain combinations of categories, subs, subs-subs and classes.

Finally, the attributes vary tremendously on how the product is sold....

I can't get into more specifics because I am under a confidentiality agreement, but has anyone any ideas on how to model this sort of thing in the data and at the UI level?
